Best Ways To Make Money On Instagram

Affiliate Marketing / Selling A Product

It is one of the most popular and lucrative ways to make money online. As an affiliate marketer, you can refer products to your followers/audience and when a sale is generated, you’ll be credited with your commission to your affiliate account.

Your referral is tracked either through a unique link or promo code. Since Instagram doesn’t allow you to post links in posts (links can only be shared in the profile bio or Stories), using promo codes is the best option for affiliate marketers on Instagram.

You can sign up on a platform like Amazon Affiliate Program and find products relevant to the niche your Instagram account is based around – whether it’s travel, fashion, art, gadgets, or anything else.

Selling Your Photos/Designs

Instagram is a visual content sharing app, is the perfect place for photographers and graphic designers to show their talent on social media with a large audience of 600 million+.

If you’re a photographer looking to sell your photos, for example, you can list them on sites like 500px and Twenty20 and then use proper hashtags of Instagram to spread your designs & pictures around the web. The same goes for graphic designers as well.

While sites like Behance are important for maintaining a design portfolio, you can popularize your work through Instagram. Look at the many web comics that have witnessed a massive surge in readership thanks to viewers from Instagram for an example. Instagram also allows you to get in touch with brands directly which makes contacting potential clients for your graphic designs an easy task.

Example: You have written a book/E-book, then having an Instagram page can help you to drive sales to your books from all around the web. You’ll get more exposure and bigger audience.

Quick Tips For Gaining More Exposure on Instagram

Filling Your Instagram Bio Carefully

Your bio would be the first impression of your brand so be careful with it. write a unique and attractive and powerful bio description and don’t forget to place your brand web address there. Using emojis is recommended as it looks little attractive.

You must be regular while building your Instagram audience. I mean you must post content on a regular time interval as it increases user engagement and maintains the activeness of the page.

Don’t forget to reply to the user messages and comments, this makes them trust your brand and this way you could build a better base audience.

Improving The Quality Of The Content

There are more than 1 million advertisers on Instagram. this means that there is a large competition between business brand so you can’t get away by posting simple content.

Try to improve and maintain the quality of the content you are posting on your Instagram business page. with the quality, I mean more engaging stuff and high-resolution images in your posts.

Use of Proper Hash Tags

Using relevant hashtags with your every post increases your brand exposure around the Instagram.

Hashtags have been around since 2007 on social media platforms to cluster posts with a similar theme. And they work extremely well on Instagram. The platform allows you to add up to 30 hashtags (that’s a lot) per post.

I recommend using between 10-15 hashtags in every post. Preserve the caption of the text for adding more context to your post. Even if you add hashtags in the first comment, Instagram will pick them up.
